Tigers Win! Game 143 Afterglow Thread

PrintThese are the kinds of wins that make phrases like "team of destiny" necessary. Something special happens when the Detroit Tigers play at Comerica Park.
A game that was well on its way to a terrible loss for the home team, with a fifth-inning meltdown by Justin Verlander, turned into a joyous come-from-behind, walk-off win.
Was there a more glorious exhale than the one you let out when Aubrey Huff jacked that three-run homer out of the park? And how does Alex Avila have such a knack for the big hit?
Full recap later on. But for now, enjoy some of the brightest afterglow we've had this season.

I don't much care for paczkis, so here's an alternative desert
"For myself I am an optimist - it does not seem to be much use being anything else." -- Winston S. Churchill
paczki (s)
plural. It is a deep fried jelly or cream filled treat. They are sold mainly on Fat Tuesday ( the day before Lent). They are yummy and delicious and a coronary on a plate.

A panczek (that's the singular)
is a Polish filled donut. You can eat them year round but traditionally they are a big thing on Fat Tuesday, because you have to use up all your fat and sugar before Lent. They are a heavy, yeasty donut – not like those nothing to them Dunkin Donuts or KrispyKremes.
lot like a jelly donut - from Wikipedia:
Typical pączki
A pączek is a deep-fried piece of dough shaped into a flattened sphere and filled with confiture or other sweet filling. Pączki are usually covered with powdered sugar, icing or bits of dried orange zest.
Although they look like bismarcks or jelly doughnuts, pączki (pronounced ponchki but mistakenly pronounced poonchki or punchki) are made from especially rich dough containing eggs, fats, sugar and sometimes milk. They feature a variety of fruit and creme fillings and can be glazed, or covered with granulated or powdered sugar. Prunes and rose-petal jam[citation needed] are traditional fillings, but many others are used as well, including lemon, strawberry, Bavarian cream, blueberry, custard, raspberry and apple.
Pączki have been known in Poland at least since the Middle Ages. Jędrzej Kitowicz has described that during the reign of August III, under the influence of French cooks who came to Poland, pączki dough was improved, so that pączki became lighter, spongier, and more resilient.

So
my friend came to my room in a time of need (she and her bf just broke up…this is the same person who had this happen before, they got back together and now they broke up again for real this time) but I left the TV on and muted it. I felt a little mean but at least I got to see all the action unfold. So it’s a bit delayed but WOO I LOVE THESE GUYS!

silly
You never get back together if you break up for good reasons. It’s like going back to the asylum after you staged a successful breakout!
"For myself I am an optimist - it does not seem to be much use being anything else." -- Winston S. Churchill
i'm currently on the third time with the current girlfriend
broke up with her twice and missed her too much…
I Like Pie
GOOD REASONS
Sometimes people break up for silly reasons – they get nervous and get cold feet, or feel that someone else would be more exciting, or they think their current partner has a goofy laugh. Those aren’t important.
If two people don’t care about each other and respect each other, then they shouldn’t be together – and of course, if either is abusive emotionally or physically, that relationship should be very over.
"For myself I am an optimist - it does not seem to be much use being anything else." -- Winston S. Churchill
You're a good person.
I think I would have said “You know what would make you feel better? Baseball!”
Haha she doesn't like baseball
I couldn’t bring myself to turn the TV all the way off, so I thought it would be nice to at least mute :)
by kendra.michelle on Sep 14, 2009 10:42 PM EDT up reply actions
I would have been pretty harsh, I think.
“What did you expect? He’s the same guy you broke up with the LAST TIME! Of COURSE he’s still a jerk!”
And I wouldn’t even have muted the television. :)

My two best friends (who are brother and sister) have the worst taste in the opposite sex...
The funny thing is, each one recognizes that in the other, but not in themselves. However, one of them just got married, so I hope it works out for her (I’ve never met the guy she married; it was kind of a sudden thing).
And how’s this for weird? My other best friend’s ex has a dog named Washburn.

why do people do this...
a girl I work with just asked my advice about this same issue. (her ex-boyfriend wants to get back with her after he left her for his ex) I told her to kick his sorry ass because it’s just a game that will continue on and on.

I was surprised she asked me though...
I’m not exactly a fountain of relationship knowledge. I guess I just always sound like I know what I’m talking. about.

right decision
Don’t give him the opportunity to dump you again, because he will. Leopards don’t change their spots (at least, not without time and major life-changing experiences). Don’t let him come back to the safe choice once he dumped you for someone else and then didn’t find her quite what he expected.
"For myself I am an optimist - it does not seem to be much use being anything else." -- Winston S. Churchill
In this case, he didn't dump her for someone else
in fact they were only broken up for about a day before they got back together. It’s mostly the guy being dumb and not knowing what he wants. I don’t think they should’ve gotten back together in the first place, but you know, these things happen.
by kendra.michelle on Sep 14, 2009 10:49 PM EDT up reply actions
sounds a little immature
In that case, she should let him grow up a little bit. She’s not his babysitter and he shouldn’t yank her emotional chain around because he can’t make up his mind.

Also, does anyone know what song they use in the commercial for the new season of House? I like it and I want to know what it is.

well I'm going to bed guys...
I have tomorrow off but I have to go to a meeting at work anyways. Honestly, why does a Specialty Clerk from the deli who makes slightly more than minimum have to go to a meeting?
My Music: Some Sorta Giant
you got that straight...
3 months and I’m already the lead on closing shifts most of the time. I have people who’ve been there 20 years asking ME questions.

sometimes it's tough
To be both intelligent and competent.
And meetings are a scourge in all places. I worked in a lab where the physician who was the principle investigator would ask someone to page him after the first ten minutes of a meeting he knew would be useless, but he had to show up anyway. The man had an MD and a PhD and had research to do – but the suits expected him to show up at meetings anyway.

such as my manager asking me what we were out of...
plus having PLU’s memorized, figuring out how to calibrate the scales, fixing the scales when they break, and adjusting prices. Theres nothing there I can’t do right now and some of those women back there think I’m amazing. They should be glad that I enjoy responsibility and the challenges that come with it otherwise i could become suddenly lethargic.

I wasn't even the lead tonight so I was confused why she was asking me what we were out of...
now to bed I go. Sleepiness is setting in.

one of my sisters is an engineer
Currently in a PhD program and hoping to defend in the next year. She STILL gets calls from her last employer sometimes because they can’t find where some of the drawings were archived or remember how the computer system did something, and they know that even after several years she will recall the information.
If they had paid her better and treated her less like a peon, she might have not left quite yet – but the fact they gave her no respect, promoted some less experienced and less qualified (but male) engineer over her for a position that all the vendors and clients she dealt with assumed she would get since she was the most qualified for it prompted her to leave and she has really enjoyed her research.

it's the leverage of the situation
bases loaded in the ninth is more important than bases loaded in the first, since there’s less time remaining in the game to make amends.
I agree mostly, but i’ll take the runs whenever they occur.

Watching the replay of Huff’s home run…In the dugout, Miggy jumped onto Armando Galarraga’s back. Armando ended up piggybacking Miggy all the way to the stairs. It was pretty funny (Although the guy’s already dealing with elbow problems; you don’t want to add in a sore back, do you?).
